32.5 Weeks

Here is me at 32.5 weeks, I'll be 33 on Wednesday! Baby is doing well and growing right on target. Dr. Dorcas mentioned that I had grown 2 centimeters since the last appointment, so everything is looking good. I'm getting excited with each passing week, I can't wait to meet our little baby.

Today, Eryn and I went and got our tootsies painted at Frenchy's and then went to DSW shoes to check things out. A very luxurious day! If you haven't ever been to DSW shoes- YOU HAVE TO GO. Just understand that it can be very dangerous, so don't blame me if you walk away with three pairs of shoes.

Fatty McFatster

Miss Kitty went to visit Dr. Theresa on Thursday for a "sanitary shave" (let's just say that she's getting a little lazy in her hygiene habits) and unfortunately, Miss Kitty has been gaining sympathy weight along with me. Poor kitty has gained A POUND since August. We had even taken away the All You Can Eat Kitty Buffet - but alas, that did not help. She must be hiding Twinkies under her bed or breaking into the cookie jar when we are not home. Short of buying a kitty treadmill, she's now on prescription weight loss food.

I feel like a terrible kitty mama, allowing my fat kitty baby to get even fatter. I'm hoping the food will help her out, slim down and get that svelt kitty body that she sees in all the Cat Fancy magazines. Kirstie Alley, watch out!

Moral of the Story- Don't Sleep with Waitresses at Truckstops

So I saw this commercial this morning while watching Food Network and couldn't stop laughing.

Doula Visit

Jeremy and I met with our doula Jennifer tonight and it was so nice to have her here and chat with us. Tonight we went over the Baby Shopping List and she helped us figure out the things that we need and the things that we don't need. There were more things on the "Need" list than I thought, but it was things that I didn't really think of. And it was good to know that some of things on the "Need" list, we already had- so we were in good shape.

She also gave us a ton of advice on feedings and taking care of ourselves after the baby is born, and she'll be back to visit us again when the kiddo finally arrives to make sure feedings and such are going ok. I am feeling more and more at ease with the idea of bringing the kiddo home, knowing I will have not only Jeremy here with me but a good support person to check on us and make sure all is well.

Strength in Numbers

Alyssa wrote me a very nice thank you note for her Barbie cake earlier this month. As a P.S. to her note, she drew me this adorable picture and voiced her sentiments to her choice of baby. :)
